This program provides a cost-effective and valid way for small and midsize businesses (SMBs) to stand out by implementing a sustainability strategy, minimising their carbon footprint and demonstrating environmental concern and leadership.
Through the EcoCommitted Partner Program, businesses can choose from three options based on their size to effectively offset their entire operation for one year by purchasing offset credits from a group of active and validated environmental projects from around the world.
ClimeCo has hand-selected these projects based on their record of performance and positive environmental impact. EcoCommitted projects may include forest conservation and management, the removal of harmful methane gas, the abatement of industrial greenhouse gas emissions and other impactful efforts.
Three levels of support are available:
- One to Five Employee Program – A $400 investment allows for a 32 metric ton (MT) offset, an amount equal to the carbon dioxide equivalent emissions of taking seven gasoline-powered vehicles off the road for one year
- Six to Ten Employee Program – An $800 investment allows for a 64 MT offset, approximately the carbon dioxide equivalent emissions for the annual energy use of eight homes
- Eleven to Twenty Employee Program – A $1600 investment allows for a 128 MT offset, roughly the carbon dioxide equivalent emissions for 300 barrels of oil consumed
ClimeCo EcoCommitted Partners receives a custom certificate to display their commitment to sustainability at their locations, on their website, or on social media, helping to attract the ever-growing number of consumers who want to do business with environmentally friendly and action-oriented companies. The EcoCommitted status must be renewed annually.
“Interest in taking tangible steps to help the planet, whether from businesses or consumers, has never been higher, but many are intimidated by the process or unsure how to get started,” said ClimeCo president and chief executive officer Bill Flederbach. “Because ClimeCo believes that every business is capable of making a difference in the critical fight against climate change, we have created the EcoCommitted Partner Program to remove barriers to entry and allow them to move forward easily and with great confidence in the impact of the programs they are supporting. We hope this will be the first of many steps our partners take to continue the path toward greater sustainability.”
